Synopsis:

The commodities market today is driven by recession fears and rising tension in the Middle East. On Monday, the 10-year yield fell to 3.78%, the dollar index steadied around 102.8, WTI crude oil rose 1.86% to $74.30/barrel, while gold fell 0.9% to $2,447.60/ounce.

Top News and Events

  • Mixed Movement in US Treasury Yields: The US 10-year yield fell 1.4 basis points to 3.78% on Monday, while the two-year rate increased by three basis points to 3.9%.

  • Dollar Index Stabilises After Decline: The dollar index steadied around 102.8 on Tuesday after losing up to 2.1% over the previous two sessions.

  • Yen Weakens Amid Economic Concerns: The yen weakened by over 1% to trade at 145.75 against the US dollar. Analysts caution that recession fears might be exaggerated, and the unwinding of the yen carry trade will stabilise the currency.
